Harden trying to escape his playoff legacy all the while D Mitch is cosplaying it
#THE DETROIT PAN PIZZAđDEFEAT THE CLEVELAND POLISH BOYS âď¸115-94
We need Lebron
GG detroit. Looking forward to more misery in game 7
its been a great series! gg, hope Sunday is competitive and nobody gets hurt!Â
Ready for a horrible basketball viewing experience
Look on the bright side: whichever of our Sunday nights is ruined canât be hurt again until the fall
Good point. see you in r/lakeeriebros
Same!
Man, Cade seems like he has a good head on his shoulders, too, apart from being a hell of a player. No BS comments, down to Earth and real. I’m not a Pistons fan, but I like the dude.
He’s easy to like and root for.
Heâs hard not to like, does everything well, maybe you could dislike how much he bitches to the refs but itâs usually justified.
Ok who else can the tigers sacrifice on Sunday to the injury gods to help with a game 7 win?
Nobody boasts more when they win against teams they should objectively beat than Detroit and whines more when they lose.
I mean yeah man have you watched this series? The officiating is favoring Cleveland by FAR. Not even close. Weâre overcoming the Cavs and the refs so yeah bro itâs extremely cathartic to win
And not just win, but win by 21. The cavs had bonus for 9 out of 30 minutes in the second half. They still fucking lost.
The refs have been pretty good tbh. Your team just plays so much more physical than Cleveland, you get called for more fouls. The trade off should be itâs easier to score on a much less physical team, butâŚ
Thatâs cope
Itâs very true. Iâve unfortunately watched the games because I like basketball, there havenât been all that many cases where Iâve gone âhowâs that a foulâ or âthat shouldâve been a foul.â There definitely have been some, but thatâs true of every game.
rooting for y’all pistons bros, detroit gonna be POPPING on sunday
Crazy to think that the Pistons were on the verge of elimination a week into the playoffs, and now look at them
Cavs choke job surprise surprise.
Detroit Basketball!!!!
anyone see that Caitlin Clark shot to tie the game?
Flop karma
Donovan Mitchell is not even in the same tier of player as Jalen Brunson. I never wanna hear the comparison again. Only people that donât watch games were making that argument
Definitely not these playoffsâŚ. Completely disappears
This is the case every year. Heâs never been out of the 2nd round. Perennial underachiever. Heâs personally lost to, and been outplayed by Brunson twice on 2 different coasts. Meanwhile Brunson just made his 3rd ECF. Itâs not even close
Ok fair enoughâŚ. Usually Don is carrying the team and no one else shows up. Thats normally the case but this year has been different.
The one play that summed up this game perfectly was that one dude slipping on hardens flop sweat to turn the ball over for Harris to get an easy dunk
Yeah that was the moment I turned it off, lol
Yea!
Down by 20 so they send the 12-16th men in to start a fight and try to hurt someone. Narrative.
I have to admit that I didnât see this coming. Hopefully Pistons win game 7.
All about maximizing growth opportunities
We get 7 games, might as well use all of them. What’s the problem?
Sasser was +27. Wtf.
What does Jaylon Tyson do except dirty fouls and jerking his dick in dudes faces
Damn MVP chants… in YOUR home. Ouch
Tyson is obnoxiousÂ
Agreed. I do want to see him play, but heâs too damn emotional.
all u clowns do is talk about how the pistons fans cry/pistons are crybabies
broi we been fucking telling u, give us even a sort of balanced reffing performance like this, and its not even fucking close. They were still egregiously in favor of harden, ticky tack fouls on ausar, just straight bullshit
cavs are trash, cavs fans are sorry steaming trash, get fucked pussies
game 7 will be great
đŻ Game 5 was robbery and Game 4 should have been a Piston win. They might not be great at offense but their defense shuts down the greatest offenses.
bro you gotta chill. this series has been awesome. just enjoy the games.Â
u right
but the reffing was killing me lmao
You guys are crybabies still and are boasting over getting to Game 7 against this miserable Cleveland Team lmao.
its always “wow pistons suck, losing to the magic, losing to the cavs” or “lol so what u won its the cavs, its the magic”
feels amazing to have such a turn around after 2 yrs
meanwhile in chicago…?
Being better than Chicago ainât a flex, big dog. I know weâre dogshit. But just because we are doesnât mean I canât call out how fucking mid your team looks.
not even flexing on being better than chicago
ur just talking down on our team who was able to make a turn around, i’m just saying it feels good to have a team make actual progress and not just post in nba game threads about how mid another team is looking.
and even with that midness we’re still in the second round going to game 7.
I know I donât even like watching my team. Iâm ready for us to lose and blow up this fucking team.
You went to 7 against the magic and now you’re going to 7 against the Cavs. It says more about you
bro we lost 28 straight game 2 yrs ago, and now we’re in the second round going to 7, this is a fuckin dream come true
what have the knicks done since the 70s?
And you sir… Will go 7 games with the Pistons and most likely lose. The Motorcade is coming
The Pistons ainât winning three or four games against New York in the playoffs lmao. Regular Season record doesnât mean shit otherwise Boston wouldâve swept them last year.
Screenshotting this comment.
This is the first year this core has had real playoff experience, if they win Sunday, the season is 100% a success. All these guys getting invaluable playoff experience
Ayo if you see this comment next time with these 3 commentators; lemme know if Iâm schizo because wade highkey being disrespectful to Harlen
What did he say, I turned the game off
0 acknowledgment of Harlen the entire game only referred to Candace; only time he talked to Harlen was to correct him on something. Again I can be schizo but I really started paying attention the second half and Wade was being weird asf
you’d have to pay me $700 million to watch game 7 c ya Cavs
Game 7 baby. Pistons tryna do this the really hard way and maximize the playoff experience for the young guys apparently lol
Still, good emphatic win and theyâve got home court with momentum. Lotta pressure but itâs a good place to be
+11 free throw differential not enough Cavs?? Harden needs to work on his flops man 10 free throws ainât gonna cut it.
Lol Gilbert got 500 people into LCA, and weren’t this loud
Hes about to send 1000 people On a Lake Erie bus ride
Itâs funny because he pays the Pistons money already to be the jersey sponsor
It’s weird too because, Dan Gilbert as the basketball owner sucks. Dan Gilbert as a developer of the city of Detroit has been great
Man I thought Dylan Brooks was a punk and then I saw Jaylon Tyson play
Hell yea!
Anyone see the clock go back to four minutes?
4:44
âThatâs the toughest Clevelandâs been all night.â
lol
D Wade put a burn on Cleveland in the end, damn.
2 straight 7-game series for both teams. Knicks is going to eat these teams alive.
Knicks are turbo dogshit
Says a fan of a team that had to comeback down 1-3 to an 8th seed. Would have made your team the worse 1-seed of all time.
Shoulda coulda woulda. They donât ask how they ask how many
The Pistons dominated the Knicks
I wouldnât put any thought into that. These Knicks are a completely different team. KATâs increased role in facilitating the offense has changed everything. 6.6 APG compared to just 1.3 is absurd.
Donât assume you can just stop or slow down Brunson to win games.
And the Knicks will have to go to 7 games with the Pistons and end up losing lol
Pistons vs Thunder đŞđźđ
Regular season means nothing come playoff time, lol
Tyson is like what haters think Isaiah Stewart is
So much for donovon’s city
Ohh we got beef?
Classic trash Cleveland getting entirely off the bench to start a brawl after getting their cheeks blown out
What time is game 7?
Belt to ass. Sunday is gonna be ELECTRIC.
Itâs over the Cavs not winning in Detroit
All these comments make me certain Cleveland is gonna win by thirty lmao. Thatâs what always happens.
They havnt once won by that margin… Pistons usually always in the lead. Its over for the Cavs bud
Anytime everyone on Reddit is confident in one outcome, itâs a very wise move to assume the other one will happen lmao.
This Pistons team has so much fight in them
I’d be surprised if G7 is close. But knowing this series, it will come down to clutch time
Keon Ellis sighting… how are the Cavs sitting on this guy?!? đ¤Śââď¸đ¤Śââď¸đ¤Ś
Where is all the Cavs flair? Thought Cavs sweep? Then cavs in 5? Then Cavs in 6? Cavs in 7 now right?
Someone said Cavs in 9
I donât think any Cavalier fan was calling a sweep after how shitty we looked against Toronto. Just take your win enjoy it. Youâll probably kick our ass in game seven and then move on with your life. Itâs not that serious bro.
You guys are the one seed, stop bragging about going to game 7 against such a miserable team lmao.
We just like to play with our food. Glad you enjoyed the showdown đđź
Flair up. Iâm proud enough of my dogshit team to rep the Bulls, you should be proud enough to rep the one seed.
You have one of the worst run teams in the league, your opinion doesnât matter
Your offense was worse than ourâs and weâre total dogshit.
Belt to ass
LOL DWade
He should just say shit like this all game and talk about what itâs like to be a player. No more plus minus stats haha.
Chin up Cavs fans you live in the beautiful state of Ohio!
Bro, you live in Detroit lol
Bruh…he said state of Ohio. Can you read?
Also, Cleveland hangs their hat on saying “at least we’re not Detroit”, which honestly says a lot if you want to compare the cities proper.
Connected by the same waters lol
Do you think all pistons fans live in Detroit?
I don’t spend a ton of time thinking about you tbh. See ya Sunday
Itâd be weird if you did. We donât know each other!
Detroit really should’ve won game 5 but I am confident they win game 7
Oh, Tyson is in there again? Lol. What is wrong with that lad, seriously?!
Tyson bro lol
Pistons really got to send the Magic some flowers for shaping them up.
Magic is such an underrated team, man. Their physicality and defense gave the pistons a wake up call.Â
Hey!
We did something!
Bruh it took until game 6 for duren to get back to form. Yall broke him
Toughest the Cavs been all night đđđ
Didnt get double the free throws so it’s an L
Even announcer is saying the Cavs are a bunch of pussies đ
Gotta put up a shot if they’re gonna do that shit
Tyson such a little bitch
Cavs somehow managed to lose two games in one game
No chance they win game 7
I think if the losing time can press you with such D with seconds left, you should be able to shoot the ball.
Yktpwa
What are the Cavaliers garbage time unit even doing? Game is over, let it end. And of course Tyson is in the middle of it again.
lol 21 points hmhahahaahahahhaah
-25 is fucking awful sheesh
Cavs were better with Garland
Garland never got this far
For the first time in these playoffs, Cleveland lost at home.
They take 1… We take 1
lol y’all really gonna get into a fight with 0.3s on the clock?
Jaylon Tyson. You are not tough.
Soft ass
Hell yeah! Leave it all out on the court
NBA wants to see Cavs win so bad that they added 4:44 on the clock
Not even the Angels could save them this game
If anyone canât see that the cavs are bitch made thatâs your own problem
Bitch made took yâall to 7? Not the trash talk you think
Cade took you to 7 games .. correct
Losing at home with the refs in your pocket by 20 lmao
The East just cant close out a series
All of the East?
The Pistons just don’t give up.
They dont die lol
YKTPWA
Lmao Tysonâs bitch ass trying to start fights down 20 on a dribble out
Tyson does more chirping than playing
LMAO tell em D Wade
Now two days of Pistons fans acting like they won the finals
And two days of Knicks fans in their sub crying about how they have to face the Pistons đ
Go make some more memes ya soft ahh
Not everyone gets to play Atlanta and Philly
I think both Atlanta and Philly could beat you
Hahahaha ok
Dude the Cavs are not good
I mean they’re no Philly
Our finals gonna be when we spank your ass
Just look at it objectively. We’ve won 7 straight. You’ve struggled 13 straight
Why do you care? You’re already in and rested
Dirty Cavs instigating a fight in a lost game btw. Third time this series alone after a headbutt and a close line by Jarret Allen in the prior series. But the narrative sticks.
Did Tyson show up in the last 2 minutes just to angrily grab his dick again?
Lmaoooo D Wade âthatâs the toughest the Cavs have been all nightâ
not even an email this shit could have been a text message
Tyson looking real tough in garbage time
This Detroit team is really resilient. They fought really hard in their series against the Knicks last year and have needed to fight back against both Orlando and cleveland. Theyâre getting in these situations because of their creation / shooting issues, but man theyâve shown so much fight
Theyre also transforming.. its like you notice with the different player rotations they are doing better with some of their bench while resting their starting lineup more. If anything these 2 series will spark something in Detroit especially if Duren wakes up
Frustration by a lot of bench players lmao
Donovan Mitchell is the arguably the worst superstar in the NBA
Not a superstar.
Tyson is such a hothead
Some cavs fans dressed as seats today
Tyson talks a lot for 10th man
Man a 2009 lebron with this cavs team would dominate the east lol
He was already dominating the east
‘The second greatest player of all-time would dominate with another future hall of famers and another great scorer would dominate.’
You put 2009 LeBron on any team and they are dominating the east.
I know, it’s a half troll post, but very true. It would be insane to see in this day and age. Hell he would take the wizards to the semi-conference finals.
Facts
don’t see the cavs winning in Detroit again they did not show up tonight
Tyson stop acting hard, your team got bitched
Harden adding new chokes to his legacy is impressive
Tyson getting relegated to garbage time minutes gives me infinite joy
Canât believe Pistons fans have to suffer through two game sevens in this playoff run. My blood pressure is through the roof. đŽâđ¨
Don’t worry, Cavs are trash. Harden and Mitchell will completely fall apart again.
Wow, can’t believe Jaylon Tyson is being a bitch
Tyson is a fucking loser. Look at the scoreboard wanna be Dillon brooks
Fuck these dickheads, acting hard and doubling, down 21 with 10 seconds left
YOU KNOW THE PISTONS WON AGAIN
Did they add 4:44 to the clock
No more please!
All those poor Cavs fans have to leave a Cavs loss and go home and live in Ohio.
Odd coming from a pistons fan…. Detroit and Cleveland are both horrible cities.
But only Ohio is a terrible state
Michigan is not better either…
The Knicks are going to sleepwalk to the finals.
